When there is a limit to the number of people (3,000) how can there be a time limit (3 days)? What happens if there are too many people at the end of the three days? What if there is one incredible bad ass in the group (Chuck Norris?) and he kicks everyones' asses within two days? I guess I shouldn't worry about this stuff.

Anyone else notice that Ray's dad is wearing a medallion? Is it the same King Chochacho necklace? Like the sunglasses maybe this is a generational hand me down. Not that we know much about his dad, but do you think he's always in a good mood?

Shhh. Don't break kayfabe.

Twelve hours into the third day, men with guns form a perimeter around the Acres and slowly begin to advance inward.

If everyone is downed early on, the Great Outdoor Fight continues until this point is reached. There is a chance that some of them will recover from their early ass-beating and come back from behind.

That is subtly homoerotic.  Am i weird for thinking that?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Wait, how could Ray's dad have beaten 3,000 men? Shouldn't it have been 2,999? Unless, of course, the 3,000 is just an arbitrary number. At any rate, this arc seems to be shaping up quite nicely, let's see if Onstad can follow through.

Also, in the Feb. 2004 edition of Ray's Place, Ray mentioned that his sunglasses were handed down from his father.

"These particular frames belonged to my dad, Ramses Luther Smuckles (CFA Registered name: GC Tinkerbell’s "Careful He’s A Spaniard") and I’m proud to wear them. I didn’t know him well, but I like to think they fit me ‘cause they fit him."

* The use of "the Acres" to refer to the territory on which the Great Outdoor Fight takes place, making it all sound a little more country-club than you would normally associate with this sort of occasion

Upon reaching the Acres, contestants are informed that if they have neglected to wear a navy blue blazer, pink Polo, madras slacks, and boat shoes, they will be supplied with their own for the duration of the Fight.

Also, no minorities allowed.

I like how Teodor comes up with the name of the 1973 winner completely off the top of his head.

Everyone knows the Man with Blood on his Hands.


Also 3 acres isn't really that large for 3000 people, wouldn't be nowhere to hide.
I like to think they put a big ass fence all around it and don't let anyone out for three days, for aforesaid reasons of unexpected come backs.

[Jeepers]

3 acres is about the same as a 361 foot square. Or, just under 44 square feet per person in the fight.

A 361 foot square with 3000 men and cats fighting to the death/submission/exhaustion/broken will... for 3 straight days.

I'd buy that on pay per view.

Let's just hope the guys responsible for Bumfights don't here about this...

Shit, the introductions alone would take 2.9 days. "Introducing first, the challengers. Standing to my left, weighing in at 207 pounds, hailing from Chicago, Ill. Mikey "The Wrecker" Johnson. And to his left, weighing in at" and so on 2,999 more times. I'm bored just typing it.

They probably don't even bother with introductions until the last dozen men are left standing. The other 2,988 are not worth the attention. They are less than men.

[Doc]

I think it's more like a big team game, they don't introduce everyone individually because if you're watching the great outdoor fight you know who everyone is already.

[robot_god]

You don't watch the Great Outdoor Fight.  You either fight or you simply get your ass kicked.

I think it's a safe assumption that I'm the only person who reads the thread title and silently sings, "The maaan with the blood on his haaaaandssss....behind the hatred there lies a somethingsomething DESIREEEE!"
